painLESS dentistry
Each poke and prod like a test
Each yank and pull without rest
Dripping blood from mouth to breast
It’s an infuriating lie at its best
He’s on announcing that it’s painless
On a garish yellow background crest
He’s on it smiling like a pest
He’s a horrid frightening liar
He’s more like a fledgling gun for hire
False advertisement is the pyre
With which he hooks your tire
Directing you toward the fire
Inside your mouth with chisel and plier
And when he emerges with a tooth
He’ll grin like a bastard goof
Your trembling hands will be proof
That you should have been more aloof,
Could have, would have been more astute
More aware but now it’s moot
The mad doctor on that garish sign
He may get their teeth but he won’t get mine
I speed on passed but there’s more down the line
From here on through lansing calls his crime
Into detroit and that’s all good and fine
But as darkness draws nigh
I hear my car’s engine give a cry
Once again seeing the face of that guy
That bastard still grinning and snide.
